I had my first flight about 2 months and a week after I got to HK. Two weeks for CAD exams. Three weeks for ground school/CBT. Approx three weeks for sims. A few days off in there each week and its a about 2 months till you touch an airplane. Line training can be as short as two months and as long as three and a half depending on availability of check pilots/trainers and efficiency of the schedulers. When I got done in December it was four months(total) from beginning to end. I did all of my line training in HK. I've heard its been 5-6 months for some since i've started but I've heard they are at least giving lots of guys training patterns from home. Personally, I would have rather have had a longer training period with rosters from home. good luck....
